[ Gaius is in his pimp pad slash cabin, all the comforts of his Caprican home despite its demise prior to his arrival. He's more in his element-- adaptation is a wonderful thing-- and surrounded by what can be identified as starcharts, and sheets of paper with diagrams of his own design.

There is also a closed file, quite thick, and a little out of view. ]

It seems I've missed a bit of fun. Sorry, been catching up on some reading.

Going over the last posts, I have to say, I can't fault anyone for the predominant subject matter. It's the most natural thing in the world, and we're hardwired and prog-- [ Gaius pauses, hitching over his turn of phrase, there. Yeesh. ] We're designed to be obsessed over the matter of sex. Built to enjoy it, made to talk about it, and see its possibility in everyone we encounter. Survival, you know -- it's not all blood and guts and natural selection. It can be quite fun, too.

[ Gaius isn't actually affected. He's just joining in. ]

Like I said, I've been reading.

I don't know what it means. These constellations-- they're named after our-- my ancient history. Perhaps it's a tribute. A map. Sorry-- I'm broadcasting this, right. For the uninitiated, I'm a space alien. In a sense.

This is what happens when people don't talk about sex enough, I think. It's like a giant fucking explosion of it to compensate.

[tobecaprican]

Indeed. I've always been one for pyrotechnics, and other unfortunate analogies. Are you, like them, under this compulsion yourself?

I get the feeling I wouldn't be able to tell.

[yourunichase]

Nope, this is just who I am, but I actually get more honest when surrounded by honesty.

[tobecaprican]

Depends on the topic rather than the people, for me, but truly, I'm an open book myself.

[ really? ]

[yourunichase]

Alright, then I'm going to need to remember that when I decide to have a read, I guess.

[ That has him flicking a glance to the ~file~ he found in his room, then back to the phone. ]

Well, let's not take it too literally.
